Dress as a villain

Jiguang Island was captured by Xie Jun in one day, shocking the whole country of Yue. The firearms that they were so proud of turned out to be the pokers of Ling Chi and the others.

Xie Lanzhi didn't like a small Jiguang Island at all, because Jiguang Island was relatively easy to defend and difficult to attack, so she specially picked this island to attack and frighten the Yue Kingdom.

When the Lord of Yue heard that Jiguang Island was captured in less than a day, his only confidence was broken.The ministers of Yue State are suggesting that Zheng Fu immediately come forward to seek peace with Lord Xie.

Abana didn't expect Master Xie to be so impatient, he hasn't come up with a bargaining chip yet.

The Ten Thousand Nations Conference in Tianjing was in full swing. Si Qitong personally received the envoys from various countries and promised not to take the initiative to use firearms against the countries.

In fact, firearms were not common at the end of the Jin Dynasty, but the public opinion of Abanana buying and selling firearms spread too widely, giving countries an illusion that large and small countries began to equip firearms in batches.This caused panic in all countries.

Wu Qiu assisted Si Qitong, and he recognized her potential as an emperor more and more in his heart, which was so excellent.

He knew that firearms were just a cover, a tool used by His Highness to buy the security of countries.His Highness used the panic spread by Abana to attract people's hearts, which is a milestone in calming the troubled times.

Comparing with Aqina, who created fear, all countries pay more attention to the new lord, His Royal Highness Feng Ning, who has officially entered the eyes of the lords of all countries.

At first, all the countries thought His Highness Feng Ning was just a pawn in Master Xie's hands, just to hang in the name of the Jin family, and to be strong outside but doing nothing.Not worth mentioning at all.

Looking at it now, this is not the case. Since the birth of the Jingwei Army and the integration of the Xie family and the new Jin army, the Southern Central Plains has officially transitioned from the era of Lord Xie to the era of the Jin Dynasty.

It was originally a small country affiliated to the Jin State, and it has a sense of belonging to the suzerain in its bones.They no longer want to stay in the precarious and chaotic world, but throw themselves into the embrace of the original suzerain country and obtain stable development for decades.The suzerain country is stable, and the morals of the small country will basically be peaceful.

Beiluo of Beiyu repeatedly sent messages ordering Li Li to bring Qiqi back to Luochuan.

Li Li didn't reply, and even wiped out the firearms team of his second brother Yeluwen, so angry that Beiluo wrote overnight to scold this scoundrel for destroying the stability of the Northern Territory.

Facing this selfish father, Li Li no longer expressed his expectations. Everyone knew that it was Ye Luwen's excuse to attack Li Li first, but in the end it was Li Li's fault.

All the Hu people thought that Bu Khan was old and foolish.

Some of the nobles thought that Bu Khan had gone to his grandma's house because of his preference.

Bei Luo also knew that what he did was inappropriate, but he still couldn't help scolding Li Li for being disobedient. Now Mr. Anshan is urging him to send his daughter to Hu Xionguo frequently, otherwise it will be regarded as a breach of contract.At that time, the Khan of the Northern Regions will need to go to Hu Xun to apologize in person.

Bei Luo knew in his heart that if he really went to apologize, he would never return. Now Hu Xiong can't wait to get his skin off, and then use some waterways to go south.

Now that he will be taken as a hostage when he goes there, he is not that stupid, so it is better to sacrifice his daughter than sacrifice himself.At least he can bring stability to the North Territory.

Let the eight generals dare not act rashly.

So under this kind of double self-protection, Bei Luo would rather lose face and pressure Li Li to hand over Qi Qi in the name of his father.

Li Li said nothing directly, and asked Bei Luo to go to Tianjing to capture Qi Qi by himself.There was a stalemate between father and son, Bei Luo was so angry that he blew his beard and stared at him, there was nothing he could do about Li Li.

Yelvwen was still restless, he even sent someone to steal Li Li's cannon.

They also sent everyone in the Central Plains to deliberately kill Hu Min and the county officials to stir up conflicts between Hu Min and Xie, but it didn't work.Ye Luwen was dumbfounded. No matter how he provoked him, the alliance with the Xie family would be as invincible as Mount Tai.

Li Li held Si Caifeng in his arms and was happy in Yu Palace. He had a crisis of trust with the marshal earlier, and it was An Shan who provoked it at that time, and they all fought against it.With the experience of overcoming the crisis of trust last time, the Humin people would naturally not be so stupid as to believe Yelvwen's words.

Yelvwen even went to stir up conflicts between races, and checked both his ancestors and the ancestors of the Central Plains people. In the end, his ancestors were rubbed on the ground by the ancestors of the Central Plains people.

Instead of provoking racial conflict, it made people laugh.

It makes the Hu people talk about it every day: "100 years ago, our ancestors did not come to the northern region, and 100 years ago, the emperor of the Central Plains allowed us to enclose the territory for self-government."

"That's right, the second prince has to find a good reason to provoke us. We have been in the Northern Territory for almost 100 years, and I don't know how many generations of business we have done with the people of the Central Plains."

"It is also said that the ancestors of the Central Plains massacred our ancestors. This is indeed the case. We didn't recruit them ourselves?"

"They beat our ancestors back and didn't invade the Northern Territory. In comparison, the Central Plains people are much kinder than us."

Fanshang in Luochuan heard these words, and immediately scolded these Humin: "You rascals! How dare you arrange our ancestors like this. If you didn't occupy the land with your ancestors, how could you still live to this day!"

Fan Shang also picked a passing Central Plains man, pointed at him and said, "Look at you, you look different from Central Plains people, you are Hu Min! Not Central Plains people!"

"Who is your family, you have to figure it out."

The caught Central Plains man touched his face and said: "There are three brothers in my family, even if we get closer, we still have to fight for my father's inheritance."

Fanshang: "..."

Fan Shang also wanted to say, Hu Min pointed at Fan Shang as if he was sober in the world: "Look, they are merchants in Luochuan, they have no conscience, and the goods brought back from us will be sold at ten times the price. tribe."

"I said it was a family, so I just picked my own family."

"My friends from the Central Plains are right. No matter how close you are, you will be beaten to death. Just because you are a clan member, you can't think that the clan members are all good."

"What's more, we have been doing business with people from the Central Plains. They pay attention to their credit and never break the contract. It's not like I deal with my own people, and I have to be tricked into paying back."

Fan Shang blushed with anger when Hu Min pointed at him, but he couldn't refute.Recently, when he was doing business, he did always encounter out-of-town people cheating him of the deposit, which almost made him lose all his money.

If it wasn't for the Central Plains Renxian Fan to recover the deposit for him, he probably wouldn't even have the money to go back.

Thinking of how many words he had said to slander the Central Plains people, he felt extremely ashamed.Fanshang had no choice but to leave with the goods in despair.

The trust with the Xie family has been strengthened again, Yeluwen never expected that Hu Min would trust the Central Plains people so much.He hated that Li Li had become bigger and bigger recently, and was more in the limelight than him.

Even the eight generals began to pay attention to Li Li, and some people whispered in his ear from time to time, and began to feel that he was not as good as Li Li, a half-Central Plains native.

Yeluwen was so angry that he knocked over the paperweight, and he ordered someone to secretly send masters to capture Yeluqiqi back.Since you can't find happiness from Li Li, let's start with his sister! !

Jianzhang Palace.

Si Qitong promised every small country attached to her not to use firearms first, and not to interfere in the internal affairs and borders of each country.

After that, she specially asked the Secretary of Agriculture to lead a group of envoys who were interested in grain seeds to collect samples and send them back to their country for planting.When small countries get the farming techniques of big countries, they are undoubtedly getting a golden mountain.

Many small countries cannot be self-sufficient at all, and their grain fields are limited. Most of them have to ask the big countries to sell grain, but the big countries sell it very expensively, so it is better to grow it themselves.

Now meeting the kind suzerain country, the small countries are more and more attracted to His Royal Highness Feng Ning of the Jin Dynasty.Compared with Aqina of the Huxiong Kingdom, everyone has only fear of them.

Aqina did not stay in the small country either. Recently, he has been speeding up his pace to remediate the Red River, and his attention is all on the Red River.

Wait for all the ministers to entertain the envoys.

Zhang Changle specially came in through the side door.

"My lord, Ye Luwen, the second prince of the Northern Territory, has dirty hands and feet. He sent a killer to approach Princess Qiqi. The killer has been captured by spies."

Si Qitong lowered her eyes, and the cinnabar pen in her hand kept making corrections on the folding surface. The more skillfully she handled it, the more indifferent her expression became.

Her deep pupils were brewing with an unusual light, the black phoenix robe, the stand-up collar stuck to her snow-white skin, and the tails of her eyes were slightly cold, which made her not angry.

"Changle." She said, "How valuable are Yue and Abana to us?"

Zhang Changle said: "Master, if you want to use Abana and the Yue Kingdom to contain Hu Xiong, you can indeed achieve your goal."

"But Xie Shuai at the front line doesn't think so. She has lost her patience and is impatient to destroy the Yue Kingdom."

"So Aba Na passed her and got in touch with Ben Gong first." Si Qitong said: "Do you think the marshal did something wrong?"

The large number of firearms held by the Yue State has broken the balance of the countries in the South China Sea, and it has become a powerful country second only to the South Central Plains. If the South Central Plains does not suppress the Yue State, it will inevitably cause a chain reaction.

Aqina is so cunning, he pushes all the troubles caused by his negligence to Lanzhi, so Lanzhi has to stay at the front line.

And Laneige must do this, so that the Southern Central Plains can continue to maintain stability.But Laneige is not iron-clad either.What she faced on the front line was the firearms of Yue State, which were no longer traditional weapons.Therefore, Lanzhi's attack on Jiguang Island to frighten the Yue Kingdom is to make the ruler of the Yue Kingdom take the initiative to stand up and ask for peace, and then seize the opportunity to seize the firearms of the Yue Kingdom.

Considering that firearms are so dangerous, one fire can kill a person.

Si Qitong clenched her fists under the sleeve robe, no one was more worried than her.The lover is facing unpredictable dangers and battles on the front line, but she can only stay behind and watch.

No, she must not drag on any longer.

Finally, Si Qitong let go of his hand, and the last trace of emotion in his eyes was instantly stained by frost.

Her pupils were deep, and she gave an order to change the situation: "Changle."

Every time Zhang Changle could feel the coldness of her master, the more perfect her decision-making, the more iron-handed she was.

He bowed his head deeply and said, "Chang Le listens to the order."

Si Qitong's tone was cold: "Send someone to the Northern Territory."

"It's like being in Shiguo Mansion."

The situation on the front line is tense, and the battle situation temporarily has the upper hand.

The people of Tianjing in the rear are still living their lives for three meals a day as usual, and they are fairly stable.

Occasionally some diners would discuss the front line and praise Xie Shuai for sweeping the country of Yue and beating the country like a turtle.

When the common people talked about it, they would often see merchants from various countries moving into Tianjing and purchasing properties in Tianjing. People of all kinds would come here every day.

Not only merchants, but also nobles who fled from various countries.I don't know where the nobleman came from. Anyway, the first thing he came to Tianjing was to buy land and live there.

Only one month passed, Tianjing was originally a poor alley, but because too many rich people moved in, this poor alley turned over in an instant and became a prosperous place.

From time to time, Hai Yun cooperates with the Department of Punishment to investigate the identity of the visitor, to determine whether the other party's background is innocent, and to consider whether to give the household registration.Generally, the other party's household registration will be given, as long as the other party obediently pays taxes.

Although there are many rules in Tianjing, there is an endless stream of people moving here.Just for peace.

Anyi's wife bought more property in Lincheng, and the two of them stayed in Huayin Kingdom temporarily to deal with it, and returned to Tianjing after finishing their work.

Another rich family moved here today, but this time the person who moved here was not from a foreign race, but from the Central Plains, and a businesswoman, who was said to be from the Shiguo Mansion.The whole family moved to Tianjing and was received by the court.

After the local people heard that the businesswoman had settled the property, the people in the palace directly took the businesswoman away.Everyone is guessing that this businessman is not simple.

The common people have become accustomed to the relocation of wealthy families from all over the world to Tianjing.

Occasionally, some people still can't help but comment: "When did our Tianjing become a favorite? So many high-ranking officials and dignitaries moved here."

"It means that our Tianjing is a blessed nest, otherwise why would rich people come here?"

"Tianjing was ruled by yellow thieves a few years ago. At that time, many merchants escaped. Now that Tianjing is safe, His Highness treats the people leniently and is self-sufficient in food. How could those people not move back?"

"But I think many of them are from other countries. Not all of them are from the South Central Plains."

"It is estimated that it is directed at the Highness."

A group of people were discussing here, but there was a charlatan next to him, but he said in a spirited voice: "The fate of the country is at the forefront, and those who hear it will come."

The Northern Territory has always been ready to move.Li Lidu maintains a path of steady progress.The two sides maintained a balance on the surface, and did not tear their faces apart.

However, something happened soon, disturbing both parties.

One of the eight generals who originally obeyed Yelvwen suddenly took refuge in him.

Who doesn't know what this general is thinking?Why would you take the initiative to break the balance?The reason is that this general, Yeluda, diverted the water flow due to a heavy rain, and all went to the territory of the other seven generals, causing the water source in his jurisdiction to be lost, causing a large number of cattle and horses to die of thirst.The Hu people in his territory were originally allowed to go to other territories to fetch water, and the process of obtaining water went smoothly.

But a small incident happened, which triggered a crisis of trust between the two places.

That is to change the water flow privately at night, resulting in no clean water available in the local area, and muddy water in my hometown.Originally, the general wanted to apologize, but his son inadvertently said a word: "Why can the water flow be changed if it is changed? Where can it be changed?"

"We only have one Hu Min can change the stream, is he so capable?"

The general immediately became suspicious because his territory was the first without water.At that time, he didn't suspect anyone. After all, they were eight brothers who loved each other. The eight generals were all brave and skilled generals under the second prince, and they trusted each other.No one will treat each other badly. You see that there is no water in your own territory. If you go to the next-door territory to fetch water, the brothers next door don't say anything.

Yelu Aer, the general next door, did not say anything, and the other party also thought that he was trying to help his brother.

Soon his daughter said something that shook him: "Father, that Hu Min had a headache for a while, and he made a big mistake because he wanted to divert water for his hometown."

"You should forgive them. After all, they won't touch our water until a critical moment."

They won't move their...interests until a critical moment.So when the time comes, will the brothers fight for his interests?

This seed of doubt is set.

Yelu Sansan heard that the second brother doubted the eldest brother. He originally wanted to be a peacemaker, but he didn't expect his wife to say such a sentence unintentionally: "We and the eldest brother and the fourth brother are in love with each other. The trouser belt must unite all ministries and work hard for the ministries."

"But now that there are firearms, they made so much money and put it into the pockets of Luochuan merchants. After all, if we hadn't been guarding the border outside, how could Luochuan be peaceful now."

Sansan reprimanded his wife: "Don't say any more words that damage the unity of our brothers."

The madam was so angry that she pointed at her husband's nose and cursed: "You idiot, you know how to defend your brother who can't take advantage of you at all, and don't even think about who I am complaining about."

"The clothes I bought today were scammed by Luochuan merchants again. That clothes cost me 50 taels of silver. They said they bought them from Weidu, but they turned out to be fake leather goods produced by myself. not!"

"I love money, but don't I love your money!"

Yelu Sansan fell silent for a moment.He looked at his wife, who was with him without complaint or regret, happily using the 50 taels that he had saved for a long time to buy clothes, but returned disappointed. After the Luochuan businessman fled back to Luochuan, he couldn't do anything with that businessman. !Because all Luochuan merchants have nobles from the main capital as their backers.Not afraid of him at all.Even if the trouble goes to the top, at most one genuine product can be brought back.

But to get such a genuine product, it would cost him so many contacts, and how many favors he would have to pay back to give it back to others.So for the 50 taels, he could only admit that he was unlucky.

Yelu Sansan originally thought that he would let it go, but it was just a piece of clothing, so he didn't care much at first.

Until his cart of grain was robbed by the people from Luochuan, leaving a few sons behind was like dismissing a beggar. He couldn't bear it and sent troops to chase after him, but the cart of grain was sent back again.

I heard that the people in Luochuan felt that they were not kind and sent the food back.

Yelu Sansan managed to suppress his tone, but when the Luochuan man offered 50 taels of silver as compensation, he accidentally dropped the taels of silver on the ground.In his eyes, the gesture of giving the money was defiant, and the 50 taels touched his sensitivity again. Once the money was dropped, it fell on the ground deliberately in his eyes to embarrass him.

Yelu Sansan directly drew his knife and chopped the man down.Blood splattered all over the ground.All the troops were shocked.

Yelu Sansan was panting, and moved the knife in a moment of feverishness, but he still regretted doing it now.He originally wanted to calm things down, but it was rumored that the person he killed was a friend of the Mohist giant.He has been preparing funds for the Mohist giant, and he is a person who is far closer than a close relative.

According to Bu Khan's guts, he would definitely not protect him.The Great King Aqina attaches great importance to the Mohist giant, and he is not sure that he will move him for the Mohist giant.

So he directly mobilized his troops to seek refuge in an emergency, and when he arrived at the gate, he heard that the one he killed happened to be the Luochuan businessman who lied to his wife.Not a friend of the Mohist giant at all.

But it was too late.The news that he fled with 5000 people spread throughout the Northern Territory.Going back would only throw yourself into a trap.

Yelu Sansan simply took refuge in Li Li.

Li Li naturally welcomed him to settle in and join his team.And Yelu Sansan's territory naturally became the territory of the two generals.

Yelu Da and Yelu Aer had already planted seeds of doubt in their hearts. Ada believed that Aer used the weather to change the water flow in his territory.Ah Er thinks that Ah is very poor now, and he may grab his own things for profit.

When Ah San's territory was vacated, Ah Da really sent troops to actively occupy Ah San's territory. Ah Er was just a little shaken at first, not sure that Ah San would do so, but when Ah Da occupied Ah San's territory, Ah Er did not trust Ah San at all. three.

The two parties each occupy half of Ah San's territory, and they are dissatisfied with each other. They both feel that the other party has taken advantage of it, and they are unwilling to give up any profit to the brother.The other party feels how much help they give each other when they share the joys and sorrows, but in the end they only receive this kind of return.

At this moment, Yelvwen didn't know that there was a gap between the two generals of the eight tribes, and there was a gap, and Yelv Sansan even escaped.The remaining five are in harmony for the time being because of the distant territory.

Yeluwen was so angry that he cursed at Yelusan.Call him a coward!If you don't discuss anything with yourself, you are less courageous than a mosquito.

At that time, Yelv Sansan thought that Buhan was unreliable, let alone Yelvwen.

In the final analysis, the Khan of Beiluo gave people too little sense of security, and he was always going back on his word. Last time, he temporarily suppressed Yeluwen in order to please Lord Xie for the North-South Alliance.Now for the sake of Yelvwen's relationship with Hu Xionguo, he started to suppress Li Li again.The two ends repeatedly jumped sideways, seemingly balanced, but in fact they were not convinced by the two parties.

Normally, the Northern Territory can maintain peace without incident, which seems to be the credit of Beiluo.But in fact, the people under Beiluo have long lacked trust in each other.

Otherwise, the three generals wouldn't doubt their brother just because of a few words.

Yeluwen was anxious that the church wanted to gather the remaining seven generals to solve the problem of the generals taking refuge together.

The seven generals gathered at the mouth and attacked Sansan for being unkind.

Although there were pleadings for Sansan, most of them were reluctant to show their faces. In addition, they were brothers, and found that the brothers they had always trusted had done things beyond their imagination.As a result, the trust among the seven people is crumbling.

Although they all know that as long as they are united, they are invincible, but reality always cruelly destroys the beautiful beliefs between people.

There will always be people who cannot withstand the test and choose to withdraw from trust and enter into a rupture.

Finally, when Ah Da and Ah Er heard that Li Li was cleaning up Sansan and even cutting off the town for his people to live in, that city was still a famous city for the rich.The Xie family over there also offered to give half of the profit to him, while Li Li gave [-]% directly.

Sansan suddenly became the richest general in the army after the crown prince.

When Yelu Sansan came to Yiyi, there was no shortage of water or food, and he was full of food. His wife was happy to change a set of clothes every day. The crown princess Si Caifeng gave her some tribute-grade silk from time to time, and she spoke well of the prince in front of him every day.Say good things about the princess.

Over time.Yelu Sansan also gave up the idea of ​​going back, and even the last trace of guilt towards his brothers disappeared completely.

Who would want to go to the border to suffer when they can eat, dress and dress well.Moreover, all the Luochuan businessmen who dared to cheat him were caught by Liu Jie, the county official. No matter how backing the Luochuan businessman had, the backer's hand would not be able to reach out.It feels so good to be taken care of by the rich and powerful!

With the example of Yelu Sansan becoming rich after leaving the eight tribes, although the other tribes have not wavered, they have already fallen into a crisis of trust among them.

Until, Ah Da discovered that Ah Er's tribe entered his territory and secretly diverted and was caught by his men, and that tribe claimed that Ah Er asked him to do so.

Ah Da didn't believe it at all. He brought the people in front of Ah Er and was about to question him, but the people suddenly committed suicide by bumping their heads, claiming that it was all his idea.

Ah Er also acted like he didn't know about it, and dismissed the matter as the tribe's suicide, without even an explanation.This perfunctory attitude made Ah Da feel annoyed with him, even if he explained, Ah Da would still be annoyed.

Finally, when the second tribe repeated the old trick, Ah Da finally led a group of people to discuss an explanation with Ah Er.

An incident happened to Ah Er's side, that is, his granary was burned, and the people who were caught were still members of Ah Da's tribe.

Ah Da happened to come to ask someone about Shuiliu, and Ah Er asked about the burning of Ah Da's granary.The two had a fierce attitude and couldn't calm down at all. In their eyes, brothers were all arguing.He had already brought the murderer over, but the other party even beat him up and brought his tribe over to wrong him.

So the war between Ah Da and Ah Er is about to break out!

The two ministries will fight first.The soldiers under him didn't stop, their respective bosses fought, and they had to fight because of Chi Yu's misfortune.

The more people join the two parties, the more intense the fight will be.In the end, two generals were injured, and 80 of them died. They were finally blocked by other brothers.

But the matter of the granary and the water flow was still not resolved. Yelvwen heard that at this time he would interrogate the tribesmen himself, but the two tribesmen were killed in the dispute.

The flow of water and the granary become unjust cases without an owner.

Yeluwen knew in his heart that pushing it to the small tribesmen would not solve the problem, so he pushed it all to Yelv Sansan.

The two generals stopped, but since then they have not communicated with each other.

Until one night, under the leadership of two people, two groups of tribesmen scattered gunpowder in Ah Er's granary, and the other went to Ah Da's granary with kerosene.

A group of people obviously hesitated and said: "The second general really wants to put us to death?"

The second team also hesitated and said, "General Ah, did you deliberately retaliate against us?"

Just when the two teams were about to set fire, the two granaries suddenly caught fire with a buzzing sound.

The two teams were startled: "Wait, didn't we set the fire?!"

It's a pity that the fire has spread to the roof of the granary at lightning speed...
